PHONES Arcam’s SA10/SA20 amplier Arcam’s SA10/SA20 integrated amplifier provides class leading sound quality for the best reproduction of your music. Drawing on the many years of amplifier design experience at Arcam, this product uses the best quality components and engineering practice to produce a product that will give many years of musical pleasure and reliable service. The SA10/SA20 is designed to produce a level of performance that will truly bring your music to life. Placing The Unit Place the amplifier on a level, firm surface, avoiding direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp. Do not place the SA10/SA20 on top of a power amplifier or other source of heat. Do not place the amplifier in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is good provision for ventilation. The SA10/SA20 is designed to run warm during normal operation. Do not place any other component or item on top of the amplifier as this may obstruct airflow around the heat-sink, causing the amplifier to run hot. (The unit placed on top of the amplifier would become hot, too.) Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise this will impair the use of the remote-control. Do not place your record deck on top of this unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise generated by mains power supplies which will be heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is too close. The normal function of the unit may be disturbed by strong electromagnetic interference. If this occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button, or move the unit to another location. Power The amplifier is supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied fits your supply – should you require a new mains lead, please contact your Arcam dealer. If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, please contact your Arcam dealer immediately Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the power socket on the back of the amplifier, making sure that it is pushed in firmly. Plug the other end of the cable into your mains socket and switch the socket on. Interconnect Cables We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables that are designed for the particular application. Other cables will have different impedance characteristics that will degrade the performance of your system (for example, do not use cabling intended for video use to carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as is practically possible. It is good practice when connecting your equipment to make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure to do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio signals.EN EN-7 Front Panel Connections and Controls INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

Adjusting The Balance The balance setting allows you to increase the volume of one channel (left or right) relative to the other. Altering the balance may help restoring the stereo image for an off-centre listening position. To adjust the balance, press the BAL

the remote control to change the left and right channel balance, respectively. Listening Volume Control Use the volume control knob (or the buttons on the remote control) to change the volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter- clockwise to reduce it. Listening Using Headphones The headphone socket (PHONES) accepts phones with an impedance rating between 16Ω and 2kΩ, fitted with a 3.5mm stereo jack. The pre-amp outputs and speakers are muted when the headphones are plugged in and the front panel displays shows ‘Headphone’. The headphone output is always active, unless the amplifier has been muted. Muting Output The output of the SA10/SA20 can be silenced by pressing the MUTE button on either the front panel or the remote control. If the unit is muted, front panel power indicator will change to orange and the display will show “Mute”, instead of the volume level. To cancel the mute, press MUTE for a second time or adjust the volume (either by turning the volume control knob or by pressing the volume control keys on the remote control). Processor Mode Processor mode can be assigned to any input. In this mode, the SA10/SA20 is set to a fixed level. Please refer to “Processor Mode (PM) Input” on page EN-14 for details on how to specify which input is to be used in processor mode. For setting the desired fixed volume level, please refer to “Processor Mode (PM) Volume” on page EN-14.EN EN-11 Loudspeakers Connecting Loudspeakers There are many different ways of connecting loudspeakers to your SA10/SA20 amplifier. The following section describes how to connect the speakers and amplifier for the most common configurations. Single Wiring If each speaker has more than one pair of connecting terminals, use the terminals labelled ‘LF’ or ‘Low Frequency’ on your speakers. Connect the red positive terminal of the right speaker connection on the amplifier (labelled R+) to the positive terminal of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the black negative terminal of the right speaker connection on the amplifier (labelled R-) to the negative terminal of your speaker. Repeat the process for the left speaker, using the terminals labelled L+ and L- on the amplifier.

WARNING: If your speakers support bi-wiring, there

will be a strip of conductive metal connecting the low- frequency (LF) terminals to the high-frequency (HF) terminals; this MUST NOT BE REMOVED in a single- wired system. POWER INLET110-120V/220-240V ~ 50/60HzSUPPLYVOLTAGESWITCH POSITIONS115 = 110 - 120V ~230 = 220 - 240V ~

R L SA10 Notes On Making Speaker Connections Do not make any connections to any amplifier while it is switched on. We recommend that your amplifier is completely disconnected from the mains supply before starting. Before switching your amplifier on for the first time after connecting to speakers, please check all connections thoroughly. Ensure that bare wires or cables are not touching each other or the amplifier’s chassis (which could cause short circuits), and that you have connected positive (+) to positive and negative (–) to negative. Be sure to check the wiring for both the amplifier and the speaker. After making connections: switch the amplifier on, select a source signal, then gradually increase the volume to the required listening level. If you are unsure as to how your system should be connected, please contact your Arcam dealer who will be happy to help you.EN-12 Bi-Amping Bi-amping is the separation of the amplification of low and high-frequency signals over two amplifiers. Bi-amping requires the use of two amplifiers per channel. Normally, your SA10/SA20 is used to drive the high frequency (treble) speakers, while a second amplifier (such as the Arcam P429) is used for the lower (bass) frequencies. Connect the SA10/SA20 to the speakers as described for single wiring, with the exception that the SA10/SA20 should be connected to the speaker terminals labelled ‘HF’ or ‘High Frequency’. Next, connect the P429 power amplifier to the ‘LF’ or ‘Low Frequency’ terminals, as shown in the diagram. A pair of audio interconnect cables are also required to connect the pre-amp outputs of the SA10/SA20 to the power amplifier inputs of the second amplifier.

WARNING: The strip of metal on the speakers

connecting the low frequency (LF) terminals to the high frequency (HF) terminals MUST BE REMOVED. Failure to do so will result in damage to both ampliers, which will not normally be covered under warranty.
